Sometimes I get excited over the silliest and simple things... but that's how life should be :)

After work today, I had to run some errands in preparation for Saturday. My quest today was to find plastic serving spoons and a tub for drinks (not a cooler). First stop: Party City. I wasn't sure if I was going to find what I needed here, and frankly I don't know why I even wanted to stop here today, but I was in luck because I found the serving spoons. I think I just wanted to see where it was because I'll be taking another trip there Saturday morning.

Then it was time to search for the unseemingly difficult to find tub. I tried Target yesterday and they didn't have any. But they did have some early in the summer in very cute colors! Anyway, a friend suggested Big Lots. No luck. I tried across the street at Big Kmart. Nope. I remembered that a coworker mentioned that there was a new Walmart that opened up that was close by to where I lived, so I took a trip. Now, for as long as I've lived in this city, there has not been a Walmart nearby. The closest one I knew of was 30 miles away. This didn't bother me too much, but it's always nice to take advantage of the low-priced items. As far as I knew, this city was anti-Walmart so I was pleasantly surprised to find out that a new one has opened up AND it's really close to my house. Well, I don't know why but when I got there I was kind of excited. You don't really think about it, but Walmart has pretty much EVERYTHING... and for cheaper usually! This Walmart was HUGE. I felt kind of lost as I walked aimlessly amongst the throng of fellow shoppers. It was seriously so busy in there, it was ridiculous. I walked around the Walmart, excited that it existed, and I finally came across the tub I was looking for. I felt a sense of accomplishment and relief once an employee pulled it off the shelf for me. I almost started to believe that they didn't sell them anymore, but I'm glad I found it! It cost me less than $5. Yay.

On the way home I decided to stop by the Super Kmart (not the Big Kmart that I mentioned above) that is down the street from my house. I've been looking for this cheap makeup brand that I've been hearing about (they have some wild colors and their eyeshadows are 99 cents) that seems to only exist in Kmarts. I've checked a few different Kmarts, and this one actually had it. I was happy. They didn't have too much that I wanted, but at least now I know where this cheap makeup exists. I thought that people were making it up. Well, the cool thing about this Kmart is that it's really big, it's cleaner and has more stuff than the Big Kmart which is a few blocks away (including some fruits and vegetables), and... it's 24 hours!!! I don't know why, but I like when stores are 24 hours. Something about that fascinates me. Perhaps it's knowing that if I need something in the middle of the night, or if I feel like shopping in the middle of the night, I can, haha :)
